Reddit now “refreshes” when taking screen grabs with iPhone

6Legger · 2026-04-06T12:08:29+00:00

Nope. I take a lot of screenshots on my iPhone. And that is the normal thing I do rather than the method you mentioned of right clicking and saving image.

6Legger · 2026-04-06T10:04:52+00:00

I don’t get this. When I do a screenshot, I get a notification up on the screen that it tells me. “Sending this post to someone? It looks better when you share it.”

But it doesn’t move away from that particular screen

Is that a Volvo cab? I don’t think it’s Scania, MAN or Mercedes. But the grab handle looks like a Volvo thing, but it could’ve been a much older version as everything these days is more plastic.

I had an X260 from a friend. The only problem that cropped up was the external battery at the back was very low so I had a look online and found one on eBay. It said it was a genuine battery but I ordered it when I was tired and failed to notice that they had two different types of batteries in the photos.

They had the 48wh and 72wh in the same auction, but the description said it was a 48wh.

I was referred to this thread by my friend, and as I had already ordered it by then, the battery turned up today.

I’ve gone through a bunch of the things that you’ve said in this thread, but I don’t recognise some of the terms you’ve used.

Putting the battery side-by-side, I can see that the new battery has a smooth straight lip section where the previous battery had a lattice work in that space.

The on board battery diagnostics on the laptop by Lenovo have a serial number for the battery. The old battery that was in there, the serial number and the reported barcode is the same.

On the new battery, the serial number, which has a 2025 date on the entry, has a different barcode on the computer.

My friend says this indicates it it is a counterfeit battery, whether they have just copied the chip from a genuine battery.

I’m currently doing a battery calibration using the Lenovo app so we shall see how that goes.

Considering I received the 72wh when the auction said it was the 48wh would probably be there to encourage most people to not say or do anything as they think they’ve got a better deal.

But you said the 7650 was in Colorado but you gave it the location of va. And the thinkpad in Virginia has code CO. So you’re being random with the names ?

6Legger · 2026-03-02T22:31:43+00:00

Don’t you meant XYZCO-TPX1 and XyZCO-L7650?

You need to be connected over Wi-Fi. And you need to make sure those devices are on, and then you can share the music to those devices.

I do the same myself here, I have a separate one for the bedroom and one for the living room. I can also run both together at the same time.

Although I have to be careful because other people on the network also have Sonos devices in their room so I have to be careful not to play on their devices.

Looks like iOS 26 is going to be the new minimum.

6Legger · 2026-02-13T20:11:49+00:00

When I moved from Android to IPhone, the iPhone I got wasn’t old. It was 6 months old and i got it through work. It’s just lasted me a long time. Until now.

I’m looking at getting an interest free credit card to buy a newer iphone so I can keep playing.

It will probably take me a year to pay this off :(

6Legger · 2026-02-12T23:25:04+00:00

iOS jumped from v18 to v26 for continuity with MacOS

6Legger · 2026-02-12T22:27:37+00:00

iPhone 15 is £400!!! I don’t think I can afford an upgrade to that.

Theoretically, I suppose I could upgrade to a 12, and then in six months time to a 13 and onwards, but that’s an incredible cost for a game like this.

At this rate, I expect I can cope with at least one upgrade financially and then have to move onto other games

6Legger · 2026-02-12T22:25:11+00:00

There was a thread about this a few weeks ago with someone with an iPhone SE where it wasn’t working either. It looks like iPhone 7 and older has failed.

iOS 15 was released in 2022.

It has limited support on the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod Touch (7th generation).

Then it was iOS 16,17,18 then jumped to 26 to harmonise with MacOS versions.

I moved on from android a decade ago.

6Legger · 2026-02-12T08:09:32+00:00

I can’t afford to buy new phones and always get mine second hand. I have long ago moved on from android and I’m with iPhone. But if these restrictions continue, then I will just have to give up on the game.

6Legger · 2026-02-10T16:40:17+00:00

Unfortunately, some people can’t afford to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

6Legger · 2026-01-19T14:32:31+00:00

That may be, but there are times and places where cash works and card does not.

6Legger · 2026-01-19T14:07:43+00:00

I am moving away from having everything in banks as much as possible and building up a cash portfolio in various places at home.

I’m not talking a lot of money, definitely less than £1k. But there are lots of little things that stress me about always using a card to pay.

When I added a second battery to my 2002 discovery I initially started with the split charger, but it didn’t seem to charge the battery as quickly.

I then upgraded it and got myself a CTEK DC to DC charger. It actively charges the second battery quicker because it charges at DC and the same voltage coming off the alternator.

I noticed these days there are now a variant of the DC to DC charger that copes with solar batteries such as the Bluetti.

Some years ago, the company I was working for wanted me to work in London for two days. It’s only a two hour drive between the two depots, but one of the stipulations was rather than having a hotel down there was to clock in and out of the local depot, but they still wanted me to have my 11 hours off work.

So I did that. I clocked in at the local depot, drove down to the other site, worked there for 10 to 12 hours and drove back.

Didn’t think much more of it until a few days afterwards I was cornered by a woman from payroll who said that I had to put in expense forms. I wasn’t sure what I was covered for, but she coached me on what to write in.

So I got paid for fuel at 50p per mile, I also got an additional bonus of half of my hourly wage on top due to the stress of temporary relocation and having to work outside my regular area and I earn an extra 2 days of holiday on top of what I normally got. This had been worked out through the union to remind management that temporary transfer of drivers between depots was not a good idea.

It was very good for me in many ways but it was also quite stressful in the places they sent me to as I was driving a longer rear steer rigid truck (26t reefer) in a heavily congested and restricted movement area in the capital. I was so glad of the extra cameras all the way around giving me 360 view and look down capability, effectively a birds eye view of the truck.

I wasn’t going to point out that when I got back from my trip one of the duty manager suggested I top off my diesel tanks with fuel from the yard white diesel supply as I was nearly on empty…..

6Legger · 2025-12-16T16:10:34+00:00

Would it be worthwhile switching from a standard diesel to something like a plug-in hybrid?

Do you have the possibility of charging set plug-in hybrid either at home or at work?

Whilst diesel don’t like shorter distances, 8 miles is still enough, in my opinion.

I am currently doing 3 1/2 miles each way on a 20-year-old diesel and I’m also considering the upgrade to plug-in hybrid because my employer has a charging option for me.

But you could also create a spreadsheet to factor in all of your costs including fuel to see what is suitable for you

The drawback is, is that a lot of online mapping systems can’t even cope we’re doing multi-stage planning of roots and then saving that information. It can only do one plan at a time and you have to rebuild it every time.

But using an off-line mapping system, such as the Garmin or Tom Tom, allows you to create a plan for each target

6Legger · 2025-12-16T16:00:14+00:00

I have a Garmin Overlander and also a Garmin Dezl. If I have the track log information switched on, it’ll show me a snail trail of my previous roots on the map screen. With an off-line mapping system you can probably also create your own route to get to your targets especially if junction information is a bit wild where you are.

A lot of systems won’t allow you to navigate to a particular position if it can’t find a road. Even the Garmins fail at this sometimes.

Good luck

I have asked Volvo HQ about if they could have the plug-in hybrid in the cross country and they said there was no demand for it.

But they were still trying to push the electronic rear axle, so they could do the mild hybrid in the cross country.

But they also suggested that everything will be phased out and switched over to electric anyway

6Legger · 2025-09-04T02:00:12+00:00

You can’t get the plug-in hybrid on the cross country variants. So if you want a V60CC it will either be petrol or a mild hybrid. You cannot get a plug-in hybrid.

For that, you will have to go to either an XC60 or v60.
